    I'm glad they made this signing. I was worried they were going to try to sign Tucker. Dodgers loss.

    Even if you hit on one out of five value players. That means you have four players that aren't MLB level players. In looking at franchises that make the postseason, I don't see a lot of marginal players on the rosters that improved the team all because the GM had "hope".

    Based on the one pitch X video in the story, I say call him up!

    I definitely disagree with the column in the Twins developing pitchers after college. Getting them to throw harder to the point of injuring themselves is not teaching them to pitch. Adding movement, breaking pitches, location is teaching them how to pitch. Hopefully one day baseball will go back to the days where a starter isn't gassed after four innings and five bullpen pitchers are used to finish the game. Man, that's just ugly baseball.

    Let's just hope they are good clubhouse guys.

    First! I suspect we won't see much improvement from the three. Mostly due to limited at bats because of their platoon situation. There is the distinct possibility of improvement if they end up elsewhere as I don't see all three making opening day.

    First! I don't hate the idea. I just wonder...if Walker said no once, wouldn't he probably say it twice?
  28. the_brute_squad
    All valid arguments. You are correct. They will never improve. They are all static in their ability. They don't have any flaws in anything they do, they have just hit maximum ability.
  29. the_brute_squad
    I didn't address the rest of the argument. Just the batting title portion. I should have elaborated.
  30. the_brute_squad
    Not even close to the same thing. So are you saying when the Twins get a pitcher and he's throwing upper 80's he can't increase his velocity through practice. Are you saying that if you're an infielder a coach can't see bad footwork, bad arm slot, or improve reaction time? And yes, these people are very athletic and capable of improving in ways most people in sports can't. That doesn't mean you flip positions (although it seems everyone on the roster could be a first baseman), but you can improve on weaknesses.

    If you signed Lewis to an extension maybe he wouldn't worry about his contract so much and he could start making some mid-season adjustments.
  32. the_brute_squad
    Luis "regressed" for one season so he becomes unsignable. Meanwhile, Bell has never won any batting championships and never will. Faulty logic.
  33. the_brute_squad
    They are already good. They are in the major leagues. You can coach them to become better and consistency would be a part of getting better.
  34. the_brute_squad
    Spring training for this squad better not be a country club getaway for the lads this year. They better spend a lot of extra time working on defense. Every day the core infield should be working away from everyone else until the season opener arrives. Defense wins championships (so does a lot of money)

    If you move Lee, move him to first base. He has enough range to cover that position and arm strength generally isn't an issue. Think of him as a 2020's Mientkiewicz.
